» 33 Blasts From The Past

  1. Gordon Freeman says:

    FIRSTIES!! BTW I thought it was original.

  2. Sarah P. says:

    Oh man, I remember I used to beg my mom to buy me some of these and then try to fit the whole jug of mini delicious gum in my mouth. Good times C:

  3. Ziddleping says:

    It looks like a heart attack in a can.
    I MUST HAVE IT.

  4. LeeTheDestroyer says:

    Ah yes, I remember this! My mother used to buy this for me every time we went to the supermarket or corner store. I remember if one didn’t shake up the jug it would leave a weird cool feeling in your mouth.

  5. Laois says:

    Damn, that do bring back memories…. i can still remeber the yummy juice it left in the mouth.

  6. Felicia says:

    Oh my word… I remember this stuff, and it honestly was like, my all time favorite. I think they need to bring it back asap.

  7. Siegfried says:

    Holy hell. This stuff was like, Big League Chew epic.

  8. Amelyn says:

    My mom used to buy me some and when we ate all the gum, my sister and I would use the bottle as “gas tank” for her Barbie’s jeep.

  9. GaryV83 says:

    Funnily enough (yes, funnily, as in “like a funnil”) I don’t remember this too vividly (with my immense 26-year-old memory), but I have seen this quite often at supercenters. Wasn’t able to find any from the original manufacturer, but check it out, I think they still make this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FKL0FE/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=4119423059&ref=pd_sl_3yw5rdya4b_b

  10. fen says:

    OH HOLY GOD!!! that stuff was the best in the world, whenever I got it, it then had over a million uses . . . .

    ooohhhhhh yeeeaaaa.

  11. KC says:

    I’ve never seen this. What year was this from? How runny was the gum?

    • Hannah F. says:

      It was like chicklets, or powder – I’m not sure.. It was pretty nasty. Not as bad as Bubble Tape, though.

  12. mitzoe says:

    One time I poured the whole jug in my mouth just in time for a friend to make some funny remark. Bubble gum powder coming out your nose is not funny.

  13. Hugfangi says:

    OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
    I’m going to grab the phonebook now to call everyone in the country and ask if I they have any HUBBA BUBBA BUBBLE JUG

    A great win for the artificial food industry!

  14. Meg-Meg says:

    What IS it? I’ve never seen or heard of it before in my entire life!

  15. Rose says:

    They still sell these at the store near my house! I loved them so much. I never actually got the gum concept down with these I would actually eat it {yeah I was weird like that}. I guess somewhere in my five year old mind I though that it couldn’t be gum. These and Lifesavers gummys are sorta the candy of my elementary school days.

  16. kiwi says:

    OMG I remember jumping on a friend’s trampoline and someone poured one of these on it and it got all over my socks. they Had to be thrown away they were covered with so much bubble gum

  17. Toast says:

    You… You were supposed to shake them?

    I never shook a single one.
    Man, I was missing out!

  18. kidryano says:

    this was VERY rare every time i go to wal-mart (1995 i think?)and there would be no more. ooh now want 1 :P

  19. Nicole says:

    I can’t believe some of you don’t know wehat this is.I’m14 and I know what it is.
    Me and my mom would buy it,and i would gulp it down in one shot.even had races to see who can eat it the fatest

  20. i remember this this was the yummiest bubble gum ever! I would always buy this in the store and chew it everyday IT WAS DELICIOUS!

  21. Nikki says:

    oh i dont ever remember this, im just wondering what did it look like ?! i mean the gum!

  22. Nikki says:

    and why dont they sell it anymore………

  23. tomas says:

  24. Anonymous says:

    I think they do still sell it and if i remember correctly, the gum was VERY good and powdery and it was like little chunks of gum.

  25. Anonymous says:
